(WFRV) – Authorities say two people are dead following a crash on Thursday in western Wisconsin between a pickup truck and a UTV.
According to a release from the Richland County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to County Highway CC at Hanko Drive after a 911 call reported a multi-vehicle crash.
Officials say a Polaris General UTV driven by James Koelker was heading south on Hanko Drive and reportedly stopped for the stop sign at the intersection with County Highway CC, but failed to yield to the right-of-way of oncoming traffic and was hit by a pickup truck driven by Kerry McBain.

No injuries were reported for McBain or his juvenile passengers. No other information is available at this time, and an investigation into the incident is ongoing.
